AeroDima: Cheetah-Inspired Aerodynamic Tail Design for Rapid Maneuverability
Daryn Bright,Stacey Shield,Amir Patel,Daryn Bright,Stacey Shield,Amir Patel
Scientists have long theorized that the cheetah’s tail contributes to its impressive maneuvrability at high speeds by stabilizing its body. This has inspired the design of several agile robots, including Dima - a wheeled platform that used cheetah-inspired inertial tail swings to better execute rapid acceleration and turning motions. Subsequent research suggests that the effectiveness of the cheet...
